He surpassed Lu Tingxue to take first place on the June Myriad Spirits Realm Heart Force Rankings, then opened his reward and reacted with shock.

• Zhang Su raised his Azure Emperor Longevity Art compatibility to 100% and used heart force to cultivate it to perfection in four hours, producing stronger Longevity True Qi.
• Little Blue estimated that pills, origin crystals, and daily cultivation would let Zhang Su reach Qi Liquefaction in six years, but his routine would cost about 150,000 origin crystals a day.
• After Zhang Su's illusion sales stopped, Lu Zhaixing, Lei Zhen, and Zhao Canghai explained that buyers had started making similar illusions themselves, and Zhao Canghai suggested hunting sandworms for Essence Crystals.

• At the start of the new month, Zhang Su finished first with 45 strands of heart force, received the June ranking reward, and opened its box in shock.

Zhang Su used his Heart Force Rankings reward, a Red Dragon Fruit, to raise his fleshly body to the eleventh stage and strengthen his Postnatal Dao Body, then traveled to the Sandworm Realm to hunt sandworms for essence crystals. After rescuing Bai Yuan from a swarm, Zhang Su collected the promised three hundred sandworm corpses and pressed him to reveal how he had obtained them.

• Zhang Su swallowed the Red Dragon Fruit, broke through to the eleventh body stage, and learned that his qi liquefaction cultivation would now take 4.8 years.

• Bai Yuan gave Zhang Su the promised three hundred corpses and began explaining how he had killed so many sandworms in ten days.

Zhang Su used Bai Yuan’s method of infiltrating Sandworm nests inside Mountain-Piercing Worms to harvest hundreds of Sandworm corpses in the Sandworm Realm. As July ended, he found a nest covered in Spirit-Nourishing Grass, a valuable Heart Force medicine, and realized he had hit an enormous jackpot.

• Bai Yuan showed Zhang Su how to disguise himself as a corpse so Mountain-Piercing Worms would swallow him and carry him into the underground Sandworm nests.

• Bai Yuan told Zhang Su that the Sandworm King guarded the lava tree, and Zhang Su asked him to explain the plan that had kept him there for a day.

Zhang Su risked entering the Sandworm King’s lair with Bai Yuan to steal Lava Fruits, escaping with the fruits after Bai Yuan was killed. Back at the Heart Sage Sect, Zhang Su used two fruits to advance his fleshly body to tier twelve and sold his Sandworm spoils, then checked the Heart Force Rankings to see how close Lu Tingxue had come.

• Zhang Su and Bai Yuan waited for the Sandworm King and most of the Sandworms to fall asleep, then entered the lair to steal the Lava Fruits.

• Disciples in the Myriad Spirits Realm Communication Space complained that the Great Freedom Realm was obstructing missions and provoking them.
• Fang Hanyan told Lu Tingxue that You Ming of the Great Freedom Realm had challenged her, forcing Lu Tingxue to consider defending the Myriad Spirits Realm’s standing.

After discovering that Zhang Su had reached seven-star combat power and taken first place on both the Heart Force and Combat Power Rankings, Lu Tingxue visited him for help against the Great Freedom Realm’s challenges. Zhang Su agreed to challenge Xiao Tianyi in one month for a fifty-million-origin-crystal stake, and began refining the fire jiao essence blood Lu Tingxue lent him.

• Lu Tingxue learned that You Ming had defeated Liu Fufeng and challenged her, while Xiao Tianyi of the Great Freedom Realm had seven-star combat power.

• Zhang Su learned that a World Heart cost about one million top-grade origin crystals, so he postponed restoring the Myriad Spirits Realm and chose instead to focus on cultivation and body training.
• Zhang Su bought three top-tier body cultivation techniques, raised his compatibility with the Black Tortoise Vajra Body to 100 percent, and began cultivating it with heart force.
• Little Blue estimated that Zhang Su would need thirty years to reach the qi crystallization realm without pills or origin crystals, so Zhang Su decided to test how much time a Longevity Flower could save.

Zhang Su reached the Qi Crystallization Realm with the maximum of 108 qi crystal grains, then chose to prepare for the inner Dao by strengthening himself. After his body advanced to the Fifteenth Order and his heart force surpassed a thousand strands, Elder He Changgen arrived as Zhang Su’s year in the Heart Sage Sect ended.

• Zhang Su threw World Heart Fragments into the World Passage until the twenty-fifth triggered visions of the Myriad Spirits Realm’s history and its many forms of Martial Dao True Intent.
• Zhang Su remained motionless for thirty-three days as his Infinite True Intent transformed into Infinite Momentum, and He Changgen, Cang Wuzi, and Liu Yunhe waited without disturbing him.
